Disguise AVENGERS THOR Hammer UPGRADE

[chuckyAPP]

Could someone please help a noob painter as to how to do a black wash?

A wash is thinned down paint that is applied to produce a translucent effect or to fill in details on the surface. I use acrylic paint and add water with a drop of dishwashing soap added. The soap breaks up surface tension and prevents the wash from drying unevenly unless that's the look you're going for. Acrylic paint and Windex also works well, just make the paint the consistency of skim milk.

Awesome modifications on the hammer as well, really love these wips.

Thank you so much for that. I'll be practicing my technique then prior to actually giving it a go on my hammer. I was planning to just wash the scroll detail areas. I think that's the way forward!

tom9984 - I like the Windex version chucky mentioned. If you just want to do the scrolled areas, mask them off with some tape and you're good to go.

Also - if you've not noticed by now - you can practice right on the hammer - because if you don't like how it came out, it comes off pretty easily. You'll defintely have to seal it once you're done.

I still wanna' know how Captainjaze did the raised detail on the handle...

I was thinking of trying the raised detail with sculpey.

Bake it very low and the vinyl will probably melt. Or an air drying clay.

Two part epoxy putty is the way to go there. Air drying clay will crack right off and there is no way your going to bake sculpey on that handle without it warping.

Excellent tips and tricks in this thread so far. Very helpful and inspirational.

I have to thank you for this upgrade info. I used this method plus milliput to raise the grooves and sculpt a new butt. Thanks for the ideas!
